Judy Kestner Pushes Girl Scout Cookies

On January 7 Judy Kestner appeared on the 6:00 a.m. local news in Corpus Christi to promote the sale of Girl Scout cookies.

Judy has been involved in Girl Scouting since 1999 when her daughter, Emilie, joined as a Daisy Girl Scout.  In 2002 Judy and another troop mom became co-leaders of the troop and the following year she and another troop leader volunteered as co-service unit managers, a role that eventually fell to Judy alone.

In recent years Judy has become a trainer and worked on a committee to redesign the way that the Girl Scout program is delivered to girls through its network of adult volunteers.

Says Judy, "I have two high school seniors in my troop and next year our troop number will be retired, after 15 years!  I'm so proud of the girls who continued in Girl Scouting into their high school years, a time when most girls find other outlets and leave Girl Scouts."

Emilie was a member of the organization for all the years she was in school and earned her Bronze Award in eighth grade.
